I am right now 19 years old, and I will remain 19 forever. I will tell you all about that in a few minutes. When I was fifteen, I was shifted to the n...rwhal orphanage in New Delhi. My parents had died in a car accident, but they left a lot of money for my education. So I went to a private school with 2-3 more students who had the same scenario. We live with each other. But that is not of importance right now. You see, I want to tell you the story of my life. That is because something happened. "I'm coming over there. We need to talk," she sounded much stronger now."Okay, can you give me an hour. I didn't sleep much last night and I'm a mess." Sure sweety," she answered. "I'll be there in an hour." Bye Mom. See you then," I hung up the phone and turned to embrace Sally."Dave, you really were going to kill yourself." It was a statement not a question."Yes I was. Do you want to meet my mom?" I asked."I don't have much choice now. My car is still at the bluff and you wouldn't be able to. ‘Mira! Mira! Mira!’ Her name a chant in this unfamiliar voice. She finally opened her eyes only to find that she couldn’t see. She could feel air on her eye balls but couldn’t see a thing. ‘I’m calling 911,’ the voice again. ‘No the fuck you aren’t, have you listened at all to what I just told y’all? I’m in deep shit, Mira’s ass is, too. Allen who is this kid, anyway?’ ‘Montana, you’ve met Mint at least six times,’ Allen said. ‘He has, but he doesn’t know me,’ Mint said. Mira felt bile rising. She snapped her eyes shut tightly.Moments later she heard the floorboards in her bedroom creek beneath the carpet. Her mother’s whisper slipped through the darkness. “Brie, honey, are you awake?”Brie dared not move a muscle in response except to breathe heavily to feign a deep slumber. She could sense her mother move in closer, which terrified her with thoughts of being caught spying. She could feel her mom’s presence within reach, then kneeling over her. She twitched as Hazel brushed a few.
